Felch Discussion Part 4

[MetaMario]

Finally read the chapter.

Nothing really happened (what a shock).

Tsukishima is Aizen 2.0, yadda yadda.....and I have no idea......but Jackie reminds me of Tousen. The hell.

[Havoc]

What's up with her legs? Seriously they are twice as long as her upper body. And here I thought anatomy was the only thing Kubo was partially good at. *facepalm*

[killerbee1000]

Fuck this.

I wanna see Kenpachi already.

What about Aizen's evil growth spurt?

Kubo'd sweep that under the rug with "Aizen wished to be taller so the magic stone made him grow". But yeah, the Deicide chapters made everyone abnormally tall and lanky... Then suddenly a timeskip happens and were relatively back to normal proportionately speaking. Then Jackie...

[Aaronrules380]

So should we assume that Aizen also wished to become a butterfly? Because if so that might have some implications about Aizen

Thank God Zoom isn't here anymore, because you know he'd be going all "You guyz, it's a Seprahim, man! You tools, dont be hatin' on Aizen, hes the bestest chacacter for ever n ever!".

Wow. Even the facial structure is different.

[Crossword]

Wow. Even the facial structure is different.

In fairness to Kubo on that last one, every artist's style is going to change over the course of time, resulting in some characters looking noticeably different. Just compare Saiyan saga Goku to Buu saga Goku.

Why would you not want to be a butterfly?

[Zik]

Obviously Aizen's height was an illusion of his shikai.

Since when were you under the illusion that Aizen wasn't always that height? The beginning.

This talk of butterflaizen gives me the excuse to post random butterflaizen pics right? Actually you know what this reminds me of suddenly? I had intro to computer science class last quarter or something, and we had to learn how to make a Scratch game. I made a game involving Butterflaizen. You fly around collecting keys and it's really fucked up. I got an A on that project though (got docked one point in originality category, presumably because of the basic game format). Maybe I'll share it with you guys if I figure out how.

The real reason Bleach is still alive is because us fools sit around and try to dissect it when it's obvious without doing so that Kubo half-asses it.

Well that and the generation that gave a damn doesn't read Jump anymore, leaving it to those who don't care and see this as "fresh" and "original" thus voting for it week after week.

Then again, if I want a good supernatural series with boobs, I'll just get back in finishing my translation of "Hell Teacher Nube".

[SonPan]

LOl that Aizavi and Gink picture killed me! LOl

[No Maam]

The Milf scene. As Tokoro and No maam have already said: pointless filler of someone entirely irrelevant. The fact that she just gives a hammy speech and keeps Ichigo employed shows with all possible clearness that a character in Bleach is not a person, but a coathanger for Kubos atrocious "meaningful dialogue.
And why can't Ichigo keep his job again? All he does at the fullbringer place is have brief conversations, and take part in brief training sessions which requires days of rest. Yet it requires him to take complete days off from everything else?! Ichigo is just using this shit as an excuse to skip out on all his duties with no justification.

Speaking of which, what do the fullbringers do all day? They don't seem to have jobs or attend school, so do they just sit around their warehouse in complete apathy, waiting anxiously for Ichigo to arrive? "A guest!!! Quick, everyone assume a forced cool pose, just like we rehearsed!"
It really is the Vizards all over again.

I like when my opinions get reference

Also doesn't Ginjou have some sort of private hotline with someone unseen taking care of it, plus renting the wharehouse.

I bet Ginjou inherited like a million dollars after his rich parents got attacked while he was stil in the womb . Imagine, imense richess, complete freedom, and physics defying powers . Oh those damn bastard hollows !!!

LMFAO!!! That last one is priceless.

[GypsyCarts]

Daz brings up a point that I ponder myself...

...Fullbringers. What the FUCK do you all do for a living other than hang out in the dark?

[No Maam]

They are all obviously fashion models.

[The Daz]

What you can't tell from my summary of what I liked in this chapter is that my standards for Bleach are practically zero. The Arrancar arc was so disappointing chapter after chapter that I decided I needed to view/read Bleach in a different way. I dropped all expectations and even regard Bleach as a gag manga of sorts(especially Aizen's antics). So when we get a chapter that is more than just a bunch of bullshit and a bad cliffhanger, I am pleasantly surprised.

Bleach doesn't have to make sense to me. In fact, I prefer that it doesn't make sense so I can be further entertained by the people making fun of it in this thread. The fact is, I read Bleach for free each week online just because it is there and there are some things that I still want to see happen, such as a few Bankais that are left.

Please don't lump me in with the fools that give Bleach votes for the ToC or buy the volumes to keep this debacle afloat, because that is not me. My summary may sound like praise, but I was just pleasantly surprised that it wasn't complete trash(compared to most of the chapters in this arc). If you go in actively planning on hating it, you probably will. If you go in with literally zero expectations that anything good will happen, you might find something you like(but probably not).

The reason I "lumped you in" with anything is because your positive post was implying that, since stuff happened, the chapter was good - or in other words, better pacing would mean bleach was a good series. This isn't so. There's still the hammy dialogue (Unagiya), the lazy art (page 17, my God), the shoddy characterization (Jackie), the plotholes and sheer nonsense (Isshin/Urahara bit, Ichigo back at training) the poor exposition (anything fullbringer related) or people flat out acting like no real person would. Better pacing doesnt make all that go away.

And for the record, I admire people capable of having a positive attitude to stuff, and I'm propably a lot more cynical and pessemistic than you, but that doesn't mean that I'm desperately making up faults to mock Bleach; I scratch the surface of a chapter, and Kubo offers faults on a silver platter. The day Kubo churns out a decent chapter I wont say a single bad word- but that day will propably never come.

The real reason Bleach is still alive is because us fools sit around and try to dissect it when it's obvious without doing so that Kubo half-asses it.

Yeah, because us reading it for free on the net and then criticizing the hell out of it earns Kubo tonnes of cash and top rankings in WSJ right? Just like how twilight is supported by people who just make fun of it.
Seriously, I don't get what you're saying. It's not like the hardcore japanese fans reads it for free and everyone who buys the DVDs/ tanks are haters, and if anything our efforts in this thread serve to discourage people from investing in Kubos product.

I think for people aware of ghosts, it would be quite hard to not know about him after the whole Aizen battle.

Thats plausible, but I got the impression that the fullbringers were "from next town over" or something like that. If they're lifelong Karakura residents you'd think they'd contact Ichigo while he still had his powers rather than a year after he lost them, forcing them to restore them.

I agree that it is stupid they were never mentioned before, but that badge phone call moment at least could be interpreted as them knowing about them and despising them. So we will probably get an explanation of this later on.

Still, you'd think it'd have come up whenever Chad interacted with the shinigami, or when trained by Urahara. They can't mind them that much if they never questioned Chad and his powers.
[QUOTEf-trash]
Isn't it still the afro guy? Wasn't it mentioned that currently Ishida does that job because afro guy is a lazy bastard? I don't really remember, but I'm pretty sure something like that was mentioned in one of the first chapters after the timeskip.
[/quote]
Thats true, but that doesn't mean he's never around- at least not for the soul burials, since Ishida cant take care of those.

I don't really agree this is a bad thing - the faster we are done with that training stuff, the better.

Otherwise I agree with your arguments, but still I think this chapter was a huge improvement to the previous weeks since at least we got better pacing.

The pacing came at the price of the Isshin/urahara moment, and Ichigo suspecting them, but not enough to do something about it for several days- I.E. making it a waste of time. Especially considering Ganju said he was just using Isshin to grab Ichigos interest.

[No Maam]

If they are from Karakura town then they would have been knocked out and transported away by the shinigami a year and a half ago.

Otherwise they would have to have escaped somehow.
